Playing with Stats in Honkai: Star Rail

"Galaxy Bat Hero? That's a cool name!"

"Hey, Stelle. Don't just agree with him!"

March 7th looked at Stelle beside her with surprise.

"Don't just stand there, an attack is coming!"

Liuge warned them at this moment.

"No, why are you just watching!"

March 7th was getting frustrated.

"Because I don't have a weapon!"

Liuge clapped his hands together, looking helpless.

"Oh, this!"

008: Confirmed the look in his eyes, he's one of us.

After two minutes, the Voidranger: Trampler was killed by a club wielded by a resentful March 7th and a satisfied Stelle.

Liuge, who had been quietly observing from the side, witnessed the terrifying combat power of March 7th and Stelle.

In fact, their coordination was incredibly默契 (mòqì - tacit understanding/chemistry).

When March 7th played support from behind, Stelle rapidly met the Trampler's iron hooves. At the moment of impact, she dodged the attack and swung her bat, smashing one of its front hooves and breaking it.

March 7th's arrows also carried a freezing effect, completely encasing the Trampler's two iron hooves in frost.

This effectively immobilized the Trampler.

As its movement was sealed, Stelle used the nearby wall to leap into the air, then smashed both of its hands, severing its wind-powered attacks. She then landed steadily on its back.

As the bat swung, a fluorescent light surged briefly. With a shout of "Rules are meant to be broken," the Trampler's brains were splattered by a single blow.

The fight was effortless and casual, as if it were nothing.

Liuge watched, feeling incredibly satisfied. If he had popcorn and soda, Liuge might have even shouted "Bravo!" from the sidelines.

It was a surreal live-action blockbuster, a passionate action scene between two girls and a monster, uncensored!

After the battle ended, Liuge saw March 7th stomping towards him, and he had a bad feeling about it.

"Uh, March 7th, let me explain."

"Liuge!!!"

March 7th glared at him, a little angry.

"You! You got so close without a weapon, were you trying to get targeted by the Trampler?"

"Huh?"

Liuge thought March 7th had realized he was slacking off, but it turned out she was just worried about him getting too close and being caught in the crossfire?

In an instant, Liuge felt a surge of emotion.

"What 'huh'! Later, if we encounter another fight, remember to stay far away."

"Ah. Oh!"

Liuge nodded.

Stelle also walked over at this time, but her eyes held a hint of suspicion.

"Liuge, I have a feeling you were slacking off!"

As expected, his own people understood him best.

"Ahem, I'm unarmed, I really couldn't fight!"

Liuge spread his hands, indicating his helplessness.

"...Did you want to hit the Trampler when you asked me for the bat earlier?"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Stelle's words caused Liuge to cough violently.

March 7th, overhearing their conversation, also started to understand. Her clever little brain had once again taken the high ground of intelligence.

Liuge was someone who had emerged unscathed from her and Dan Heng's attacks just now.

Would someone like that choose not to fight because they had no weapon?

If that were the case, how had he managed to dodge the Voidrangers and Tramplers they encountered?

Even if he could dodge, what would happen in a sudden attack like this?

The more March 7th thought about it, the more she realized Liuge was indeed being lazy and slacking off.

"Liuge!!!"

"Heh~"

"Stop right there, you lied to me!"

March 7th glared at Liuge, who had already turned and run far away, wishing she could just shoot him a few times. She stomped her foot and immediately chased after him.

Behind them, Stelle watched the two bicker and a sly smile crept onto her face. It seemed as though she was pleased with herself for tricking Liuge.

After a bit of chasing and playful scuffling, Liuge, March 7th, and the others arrived at the middle section of the Storage Zone.

March 7th immediately spotted the elevator in the center not too far away.

"That should be the elevator. If we can use it, we can get to the Main Control Cabin quickly," March 7th said, pointing at the elevator.

"Mm, it's an elevator," Liuge replied, looking up at the elevator and then down into the bottomless darkness below, nodding.

"Let's go!"

"Okay!"

Arriving at the Elevator Shaft, March 7th eagerly started tapping on the control panel nearby. However, after trying for a long time, she dejectedly realized that the panel for the Elevator Shaft seemed completely unresponsive.

"It looks like it's broken."

"Indeed."

Stelle also tried to operate it, and the result was the same as March 7th's.

"If Dan Heng were here, he could probably fix it!"

"No, I couldn't!"

The sudden voice startled all three of them. March 7th, in particular, took a large step back, making a cute startled expression.

"Whoa, what are you doing here? And how did you get here so fast?"

Dan Heng had appeared beside them at some point.

"I took a different route, came around from above. I happened to see you all in the monitoring room." He then looked at the three of them and continued, "Arlan is also in the monitoring room. He seems to be a bit injured, but it's nothing serious. As for this..." Dan Heng glanced at the panel of the Elevator Shaft. "It's been locked down as an emergency measure. Probably to prevent the Voidrangers from using it to reach the Main Control Cabin."

"Huh? Voidrangers can use elevators too?"

Upon hearing March 7th's question, Dan Heng paused.

"March 7th, I told you to read more, but you went to sleep instead. Your knowledge is lacking," Dan Heng sighed. "While most Voidrangers lack intelligence and only focus on destruction and combat, there are some intelligent Voidrangers among them."

"Hehe." March 7th chuckled sheepishly.

"But we're lucky this time. The Antimatter Legion attacking the space station isn't led by a Lord of Ruin. It's just a small-scale attack. So, this assault will be suppressed and ended quickly."

"Ahem, isn't now the time to talk about that? The main point is how we can use the elevator," Liuge interjected, bringing the topic back. Stelle nodded in agreement.

"In that case, we should go ask Arlan. After all, he's the veteran here."

March 7th and Dan Heng nodded in agreement, and Stelle had nothing to object to.

Later, after dealing with several Voidrangers and Liuge unexpectedly obtaining a green Stat-Stick Light Orb, the [Insomnia], they all arrived at the monitoring room where Arlan was.

"Are you all alright?"

As the four of them entered the monitoring room, a dark-skinned boy with short white hair walked towards them, asking with concern. He was Arlan, the head of security for Herta Space Station, and also a childhood friend of Asta.

"We're fine. How about you?"

"Just a minor injury, nothing serious," Arlan coughed and waved his hand.

"By the way, are you all together?" Arlan asked Dan Heng, looking at March 7th and the other two beside him.

"Yes! We're all members of the Astral Express!" March 7th answered directly. Even with her limited understanding, she knew it was better to play along in this situation.

"Is that so!"

Arlan nodded, then looked at the others.

"So everyone, what brings you here?"

"We're here to deliver the Relics Herta was looking for. We happened to run into this situation, so at Station Manager Asta's request, we've come to assist with the rescue."

"Everyone, thank you for your help!"

Arlan expressed his gratitude to them upon hearing this.

"Oh, right, Arlan. Do you know how to use the elevator? That thing doesn't seem to be starting."

"Hmm? The elevator's access was temporarily locked after the personnel evacuation was completed." Arlan paused for a moment, then looked at everyone again.

"Since you were invited by Station Manager Asta to help with the rescue, you should have been given a keycard too. Don't you have it?"

"Ah, speaking of which... Station Manager Asta seemed to have given me a card..."

"March..."

Hearing March 7th's words, Dan Heng let out a helpless sound.

Stelle and Liuge also gave March 7th dumbfounded looks...

009 Cancer of All Worlds: Stellaron

After March 7th used the keycard Asta had given her to activate the elevator, she got on with a silly grin, under the amused gazes of the group.

A few minutes later, when the group arrived at the Main Control Cabin of Herta Space Station.

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they saw a girl with short pink hair, about 1.6 meters tall, walking towards them.

Her beautiful appearance made Liuge's eyes light up.

As expected of a rich woman!
